“The CMS is taking a hard look at whether regulations governing clinical laboratories need to be updated. Industry groups hailed the move, which they say is long overdue…”

“The CMS posted a request for information on Friday asking the industry for input on how the policies should be updated. Specifically, the agency is interested in whether personnel requirements, testing standards and industry fee structures need to be updated.”

Ziolo Consulting attended the American Association of Clinical Chemistry Conference this year in Philadelphia PA. CEO Danielle McDonald, and Vice President Glen Ziolo enjoyed several classes and lectures offered. Some of those classes include: “Technologies that Could Change the Future of Clinical Chemistry” and “The Next Frontier in Precision Medicine – Targeted Peptide Diagnostic Mass Spectrometry Assays”. They also toured the booths at the Expo and connected with several of the companies that made advances in technology that could change the future of LC-MS labs. “We both had a great time and met so many great people working in our field. We look forward to bringing these technologies and connections to better service our clients now and in the future.”
